Brooklyn Nets trade target: PJ Tucker

The Brooklyn Nets may be one of the best offenses in NBA history after acquiring James Harden from the Houston Rockets, but if there are a couple of things that are going to stop this team from winning a championship it’s going to be their lack of depth and their defensive issues.

PJ Tucker fits the mold for what the Nets should be searching for on the open market at the NBA trade deadline. He’s a versatile defender that can play the four and small-ball five and would fit right in on the offensive end.

He doesn’t need the ball to be productive on the offensive end and, more than anything, is still a good shooter for his position. If the Nets are able to man Tucker, it would be almost unfair to the rest of the Eastern Conference.
